`To all whom it may concern.:

the cityof VTroy, county of Rensselaer, and

State of N ew' York, have invented a new and *useful Improvement in Coal-Heating Stoves;

and I do` hereby vdeclare that the following is a full and exactdescription of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the, annexed drawings, making a part of this specification."l

Figure 1 is a :side elevation with part Aof sheet-iron'cylinder removed, thereby showing the fire-cylinder B, the `fines Eand F, and the passage of j aircurrent or draft i, all of which are hereinafter described and set forth.

of the eoalstove.

Like "letters represent and refer to like Llparts;

. The natureof "my invention consists in the arrangementof iiues, as hereinafter described', t so that theheatedair arising from the fire g chamberoreylindershall pass over the top of the same `down, a Wide frontflue,` up a iiue upon cach side ofsaid ire-cylindergand into a wide flueupon the back of 'said cylinder,` thusand Hthereby giving a` large amount of radiating surface to theheated air in its passage'from To enableothers skilled in the art to which `my inventionrelates to make, construct, and use the same, I willhere proceed todescribe theconstruction ofthe same.

I constructa cylinder, with two of its` sides nearer the centerf thautlie othertwo, `which I shall rest upon a `baseof any required height. "This base has a bottom plate, b, and a top plate, a.

Fig.; 3 shows thetop `of this base having therein arranged the dues, hereinafter described, and ready to receive the firecham.

l loer andues thereto attached.

B,Figs`.` land 2, is the fire cylinderor a chamber; H, theiirebrick thereof; I), thecoldair passage ,from `the under plate, b, up to thef gas-burning` arrangement N, through which the air after becoming thoroughly heated yin its passage thereto passes into the said fireehamber B through the small openings c c,

i &c.` Upon the said fire-cylinder B, I arrangev fourpartitiOn-plates, dividing up the spacef arennd the said nre-nyiinden and between the sheet-iron cylinder A into four due-spaces, as

follows, to wit: one flueoccupying the front portion of said stove, which gives a broad iue; one broad flue in the rear of the stove to correspond to and with the said front flue.

Between these broad front and 'rear fiues and upon each side of the said stove aretwo other `and narrow ilues, which complete the four flues. The partitionplate E extends from the underside ofthe collar I, Fig. 1,. downward to the top of the said base, below which is a passage for-the hot air or draft, as shown at.

On the side opposite to the 'right said Fig. l. of this partition-plate there is another partitiou-plate to correspond, which completes the broad front flue.

F is a partition-plate, which extends from the bottom plate,.fb, of the base 'upward until it comes near the said collar I, Fig. 1, where anI opening is constructed to admit of the passage of the said hot air or draft into the rear broad iiue, as shown atsaid ligure.

Opposite tot-his partition-plate at the left there is another partition-plateto correspond to and with `the said partitionplate F, which completes the rear broad flue, and which also con1- plete the side ilues of less width, as described.

The hot air arising from thevire-chamberB passes over the top thereof' at' the front in a wide sheet through an opening to correspond to the width of the said front ilue,'into aud downfthe same until it reaches the lower ends of the said partition-plates E. Thence it di- A vides and branches off into and up the said side ilues until it -reaches the top of the said partitionplatcs'Rover which it passes and j unites in the rear broad flue before its passage into the exit-pipe. By this arrangement I .attain a large circulation of heated air within a small space, which of course requires only` a small amount of fuel, on account of theheat being retained for a. long time in its circula- Vtion byreason of this `arrangement of partition-plates whereby said flues are constructed. Having-thus described myinvention, what I claim isy The combination of the partition F with the fire-cylinder B, substantially as herein de-
